Reply #51: Nationalism isn't a myth

[kwassa]

It can simply be a love of country, with no beliefs attached to it.

Myths don't exist for the purpose of doing good or bad. Myths don't exist for utilitarian purposes, either, other than to bind society together. They exist as a form of explanation.

Most myth is religious, this is a religious forum

"So I have to wonder if myth has outlived its utility. My conclusion is that it is time to replace myth as the focal point of our societal improvement. There are better ways to achieve the same goals without the negative side effects."

I think your idea is more of a false premise, that the utility of myth is to do good. That has never been the purpose of myth.
